Chapter 39. Comics

1 Week Later

It had been a week since the incident, and Lucien had finally recovered, though Zayn still hadn’t permitted him to leave his room. During the entire week, Day had been the one delivering his medicine and soups, which Lucien absolutely despised. Each time Day entered, he brought with him a new threat if Lucien refused to drink the horrible-tasting concoction.

“One more sip or I’ll call Zayn,” Day would say with a smirk.

And that was usually enough to make Lucien gulp it down in one go.

Still, Lucien remained confused. Zayn hadn’t shouted at him or punished him. it was just silence and medicine. To Lucien, that was a type of kindness he wasn’t used to. No one had ever treated him with such care before, even if it came in the form of bitter soup.

Lucien sighed, lying back on the pillow. His mind drifted to someone he hadn’t seen in days.

Emily.

He didn’t know what had happened to her. It was like she had vanished from the mansion.
